Hello All, I am bit confuse how the slice works in case a negative step is supplied a = 'abcde' a[::-1] gives me edcba
but [4:0:-1] gives me edcb while searching net I came accross something which said the following: If a negative stride is specified and the starting or stopping indices are omitted, they default to ``end of axis'' and ``beginning of axis'' respectively. In my case 4 is end of axis and 0 is begining of the axis so a[::-1] should be equivalent to [4:0:-1] but result which I get in both the cases does not validate. -- Vishwajeet Singh +91-9657702154 | dextrou...@gmail.com | http://singhvishwajeet.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/vishwajeets | LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/singhvishwajeet
